Conflicting advice re the knees to the chest move

It totally does. Just the hip hinge that McGill describes has helped me already and that at least is consistent with my PT’s exercise recs. My first PT wanted me to do the torso rotation ( like windshield wipers) and I’m pretty sure that hurt more than helped.

Agreed. Hip hinge is helping me too! A lot.

Yes, my PT wanted me to do the torso rotation, which I did, and oh my goodness- later that afternoon, my back was spasming. Yikes! I do not do that movement. Many times we do not know what will set things off and then too late. Pain. Thanks for info.
